And now people have found (made?) two workarounds for those hardware design specifications: Spectre and Meltdown.
So people made workarounds for those two workarounds: software patches.
Maybe even more other people will find (or make?) workarounds for those software patches?
Will we witness an semi-endless cycle of workarounds until the current design specifications are slowly becoming worthless?
Or will we suddenly witness new updated (patched?) design specifications (with some extra free features we never knew we wanted) and all buy new hardware?
